B/c ESPN rankings are not very good usually. Rivals has a much better history of being right and they have Colvin top 100. Buckley wasn't top 150

In my opinion we need one of those two guts to come in and be a very good player next year. I don't think that player has to be Colvin. It has to be one of those two players. It could very well be Buckley given the fact that he will have had a full season learning the offense.

Maybe the answer for two more scholarships is the reason Buckley and Mann are not playing. Maybe they are like Johnson was and decided to go to other places......?

I'm guessing a couple players on the team were offered a scholarship on a year by year basis, with the understanding it could be given to a future recruit if needed.

No doubt. When has this happened other than for walk ons?

Anyways, I do like the outlook of some of these recruits. It really seems like it frees up what we can do as a team. Our lineups would be able to change many different ways making our team have a variety of looks. That is all assuming we get everyone we want and they play to the potential we all hope they will.

DG is better at a point guard as he cannot shoot good enough yet.

I asked in a nice manner how he came up with that number. I of course didn't get an answer, b/c he doesn't know, as he is making it up

A) I got the number from the coaching staff.
B) They said: "Don't worry about. It will take care of itself."
I'm not making it up, and you're continued, repeated criticism of me because you wish you actually knew something, is really getting old. I know it builds up your self esteem to attempt to put me down as much as possible, but I do know what I'm talking about, whether or not you choose to believe it, or continue to live in your own little deluded world is your choice.
I DID NOT make up the number of 2 more being taken, and if you have a problem with it, deal with.

If anyone in their right minds thinks that the coaching staff emails a 15 year old kid about recruiting, than they are seriously confused.

How can the coaching staff talk to you about recruiting ? That would be an NCAA rules violation. See Cy, your full of crap.
